File and printer sharing

I just installed Suse 10.2 on a Intel P3 I bought for this
purpose. I'm using the Linux box right now. I would like to be
able to share files with another PC running Windows Vista, and
be able to access the printer connected to the Vista PC. Have
been wanting to learn more about Linux, but I'm not ready to
abandon Microsoft completely yet. Any help will be much
appreciated.

You can create network folders for sharing and accessing folders acros
s
network using the application : network folders

search for the k
ey words "network folders" in beagle search it will display this applicatio
n. This application has a Wizard which will guide you to share folders or c
onnect to a windows pc and access its folders.

Regarding printers, lin
ux can print on a printer which works with a standard printing protocol, a
lot many of desktop printers are made for windows purpose which do not work
with linux.
Drivers are not an issue, linux comes with all divers and pr
int setup is very easy in linux, believe me linux can print with the best c
larity. Look for printers which use a standard protocol or anything other t
han windows protocol.

I had been using using Linux in a office where e
veryone uses Windows, I had difficulties in the first two weeks, but now I
have every single application configured for the windows environment includ
ing VPN and Remote desktop.
